A statewide registry means better data completeness as disparate immunization records become consolidated into a single patient record.

Having a statewide registry is a proven strategy for improving immunization coverage – the ability to identify gaps in coverage can lead to targeted interventions.

In addition to supporting patient vaccination activities, immunization registries like CAIR2 also assist with other tasks such as identifying children at risk during school disease outbreaks as well as monitoring the impact of vaccine shortages or identifying patients vaccinated with improperly stored or recalled vaccine.

Helps ensure that providers have access to clinical decision support functionality consistent with current ACIP recommendations.

Follow up with high-priority active CAIR1 sites who haven’t signed up for CAIR2 training. Send an email to IZBranch@cdph.ca.gov if you would like to receive a list of provider sites in your jurisdiction with no users registered for CAIR2 training on September 1st for phase 1 sites, November 1st for phase 2 sites, and Februrary 1 for phase 3 sites.

Promote CAIR2 to potential new users after your region transitions. (CAIR2 training prior to your region’s transition will be limited to active users.)

CAIR2 is a free, comprehensive, secure system that will help you manage student immunizations using any device! It will make school reporting a breeze and generate an automatic summary report, listing students that need follow-up. For more information, go to CAIRweb.org.
